Title should read: [b]Sex Offender Wanted By Police In Virginia[/b]. Details like what he was wearing and who he exposed himself to are extraneous to the headline and certainly should not be used for political purposes, as was clearly the intention here. Crimes like this shouldn't be used to score cheap political points.

title was transferred as per the actual articles title. the obama tshirt was part of the story as to what he was wearing which lends credence to his political leaning... that's the way the cops will see it..

I think it would have been funny if the title instead read "Cops: Man Wearing Mitt Romney T-Shirt Exposed Self to Female Wal-mart Shopper". Anyways, whether or not he was wearing a Obama shirt is irrelevant to this news story!

probably because the one identifying thing was his Obama Tshirt. Why do you think police ask what a perp was wearing? for identity purposes...

I dunno.. seems obvious to me when a suspect is stupid enough to freely give away information, in this case his political affiliation. Don't blame the story.. BLAME THE SHIRT!

The point is that the shirt he is wearing is used to sensationalise the story.

and the Obama shirt is relevant how? I love how they ALWAYS put something stupid in like that to get the story attention... if it was a Nintendo shirt would you get "Man wearing Mario shirt exposes self"? I highly doubt it... even as part of a description of the person, it's still irrelevant, as clothes change... by the time this goes to print its irrelevant... if its a live search right now after it just happened, relevant yes... this... just trying to sensationalize the news

The story is about a guy who was described as a black male wearing an obama shirt for identification purposes. I suppose the next stupid comment from someone will be the guy was somehow a Romney supporter, trying to give Obama a bad name
